For this week’s Tune for Tuesday, I’ve chosen a song from a film based on a video game series very dear to my heart. As an only child, my three first cousins, all of whom are 8 to 10 years older than me, were effectively older siblings for me growing up. One of them in particular played a lot of video games, but while he owned a few different consoles, only some of his games provided a way for two people to play together at the same time. Of the ones I played with him whenever I visited his house, the games we spent the most time playing together were on his SEGA Genesis, and tended be from a certain franchise. Said franchise is one I tend to find myself playing catch up with in recent years, but even so, I consider it to be one of my favorite video game series of all time. So for today, allow me to share with you the ending theme for a two part OVA based on this games. Without further ado, here is the song “Look-a-like” from Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie.

I apologize not posting a Tune for Tuesday last week, but to say I was exhausted would be a gross understatement. So after spending last week attempting to put the wind back in my sails, I have sufficient energy for choosing and sharing a song today. Therefore allow me to present something a piece from a group that I was a big fan of when I was growing up: “Bringin’ da Noise” by ‘N Sync! Between both seeing the Gravity Falls episode “Boys Crazy” and hearing Lance Bass play Not My Job on “Wait…Wait…DON’T TELL ME!” fairly recently, as well as what a lot of people will probably be doing today, I figured it was a rather fitting selection to make. Hope you all this piece of my childhood!

I first encountered this week’s Tune for Tuesday, “Stand And Deliver” by Mr. Mister, in a movie by the same name, and it’s definitely a film I recommend seeing if you haven’t already. But to my pleasant surprise, I recently managed to find a way to develop an ever deeper appreciation for the song than I already had. Regardless, I hope you all enjoy it, with or without context!
